Google Earth to me is the easiest way to measure square footage. Allows for tracing out the actual turf and nothing else. I double checked it with a square area of my yard and was spot on. I have a total square footage but also have the yard broken out into sections if needed. I tend to use the section option in spring when gathering my soil samples.
I agree 100%
Use qpublic/GIS.
I love Pete, I love his tips. I use tall rescue and he's always on point. I didn't follow his steps this year and my lawn looks terrible. I'm a Pete disciple and will always follow his lead.
I love this channel. Your character and integrity comes through. Great knowledge for us newbie lawn guys. Thanks Pete!
Thanks for sharing! Knowing your square footage is a big deal when putting products down.
absolute Legend
Pete, thank you for the video! You are a true professional!
That place looks beautiful man!!!!!! You’re a hard hard worker!!!
Your lawn is on fire man nice!!
Thank you for this video and the importance of getting square footage. Like you, I like the old school way as well.
Jeeez brother! Your lawn is Incredible!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Top tips as ever.. Lawns are truly looking incredible Pete
Nice work,
When I started doing my own lawn care many years back (may be 25 years), I first measured the lawn size by drawing the house plan and breaking down the lawn into smaller squares, rectangles, triangles and then doing the math and coming up with the total lawn size. Very true, you must know the lawn size and Pete is right, many homeowners may not know it.
YES PETE! BACK TO BASICS! I've got 8 years of lawn care experience and some times its just good to go back to the foundation of our understanding.
Wow, your property is really beautiful! Your lawn looks amazing. I completely agree with you about the importance of square footage and sprayer calibration. I spray over a dozen lawns a day, and products aren't cheap. I always try to use the minimum amount of carrier and be as efficient as possible with most applications. This has saved me a lot of money over the years.
Thank You Sir Pete. I have 1,200 sq ft of turf, I’ve always known that. But I do round down to 1,000 sq ft to make it easier for me. So my spraying and granular application rates are much easier to handle. Thank You for your Very Helpful Videos. You have helped me immensely on getting my turf into its current shape over the years. I have Beranbrug RPR and RTF turf and its HOC is 5/8” and very tall. Reel mowed with a John Deere 220A greens mower, I’m just north of Boston.
Love the video, Pete. New video editor is doing great as well
Half of my front yard is 6k sqft, the other half is 4k sqft. My backyard is 17k sqft.
Pete, you taught me to know those numbers years ago!
Right on time video. Was not happy with the color of my yard. My nitrogen application rates were off due to my yard measurements being off. Got it fixed now. When you make it official for the GCI perennial rye, I'm coming down there to get my bag personally and shake your hand sir! 💪
Hey Pete... can you explain the difference between using Pine needles versus using mulch? Advantages Disadvantages
You know The Lawn Care Nut recommends breaking the yard up in areas. I see advantages on both ways. For example I know I have approximately 10,000 square feet of lawn. 3300 in the front and 6700 in the back. 2 areas. I spray different days due to my heart condition.
I break it up also. At my age hauling 2 gallons on the back is all I can do
Thankyou pet for that video that help out so much for me
I agree, like LCN says, know your land.
The "BASICS," and THAT is the first Basic we all need to know.
Simple, Basic, not rocket science.
Thank you again PETE.
Pete I love your videos. We use Moasure to measure all of our lawns. Give it a try . It might make your life a whole lot easier and your measurements much more accurate.
I have been wanting to speak with someone that is actually using it to measure lawns with. Considering buying one, just wanted to hear it from someone that is actually using it for lawns only. So you recommend it?
You probably had 15,000 sqft at one point and then the beds kept getting bigger as the trees grew. :)
Hey Pete….. you just “PLUMB BOBBED” your measuring wheel! Take that thing to the golf course!! 🤣🤣
Great video!
I measured mine guessing with google, Google Earth I found to be accurate but I can't see a lot of my yard because of trees so I just estimated the distances of where the bedded areas are. I'm gonna have to play with my measuring wheel now to compare and get more accurate measurements. Knowing the right square footage is also helpful to checking your calibration because you already know how much product to put down. I like checking how accurate my application was based on my lawn size but have some areas in question because I couldn't see it on Google Earth and I think is making some of my applications off so I'm going to go manually measure it now!
great video as usual
Beautiful! I’m excited to see how the kbg does this summer. I’m wondering how it would do in Athens, GA?
I had to chuckle when you said you had to text yourself numbers to remember them. I have to do that all the time. Keep on keepin' on brother.
LOL
Great & informative video. Love it.
I use the google earth way of measuring my lawn. Its pretty spot on, within 100 feet or so. Ive walked it off with a measuring tool just to dbl check.
Nice work your right it matters , plus can u do a video you watering all this 14000 🤙
Measuring wheel, weight scales, fishing scale works too
Wheel for the yard
The scales is for the materials
Square footage
Yards
And cubic feet are all vital in landscape and lawn care
Tartan weavers in Scotland wish they had color and contrast like your turf.
Pete, if a customer comes into your store and doesn't know the sq footage of his yard, it should be pretty easy to use an online tool (those that uses satellite photos) to give the customer a rough estimate of his lawn size. It wouldn't be perfect but you can tell the customer this and that he should go measure it for a more accurate size but it'll be better than telling him you can't help him. 🙂
you are totally missing the point. 1 - I never have and never will tell a customer i cant help them... never. i was trying to drive home a point. 2 - i know, realize, and use software to measure area. I do it every day all day long. nut learn how to do it old school so you know how to do it old school. 3 - the point of the video is to get people to measure their own yard and not depend on me to do it for them. Lawncare basics, if a person cant do that then they probably wont be able to have nice turf
Shew Pete! The fescue looks darker than the KBG!
it's taller. my yard is the same way. but when i leave my kbg get to 4" like my tttf its noticeably darker
I wish I were close to your shop to buy in person. My yard is 100,000 square feet, so you probably wouldn’t hate selling me product. 😂
Great video the Kentucky blue grass and the fescue is on fire
Another nice video!
You are hilarious, STOP!!! great video this morning!!! Dial in your measurements...
Algorithm know exactly what what I was looking for, and I’m not talkin CZcams. Appreciate you Pete 🫡
You are the Super man of yards Pete!!!😅😅
Yo can continue to strip well into the summer
Quick question, on your lawnmower are the blades even/level or are they slightly angled front to back, and if so what is the difference? I am currently level but sometimes get round circles in the cut.
@@cmyskill5272 they even I reckon. However they come from the factory. I don’t mess with any of that stuff
Don’t ever come into my office you were right the first time
Can you please make a video on how to get square feet for the yard
i show you how to do that in this video. What are you talkking about???
@@GCITurf I didn't finish the video I had to go help the in laws
I’m kinda curious how you’re actual measurements compare to google earth
👍👍

Hi Pete 👋 I purchased your blue heat seed I did a full Reno last year beginning of Sept I gave all the right fert and watering I'm in long Island NY it has only grown to about an inch I haven't been able to mow it yet is that normal ? It is very green though I had about 90% germination
From 2023 September last year to current time May 2024 it’s only grown 1”??? Is that what you’re saying?
@@GCITurf hi yes barely an inch we did have an unusual cold spring maybe that's why ? Does it need some warmer temps to help kick it off ? I also gave humic and rgs few times also
@@sheenstyle33 warmer temps help but is June almost. Warmer temps are here. How much nitrogen have you given it?
@@GCITurf this past week we just started getting temps in the 70's I noticed a little diff with growth I gave it nitrogen April 1st then I sprayed green start and rgs and humic may 10
@@sheenstyle33 can you email me a couple pictures of the area so I can better help. contact@gciturfacademy.com
Anyone in the comments know of any good landscape companies who are professional and do a good job installing irrigation systems?
I have 2350 just for the record lol
1st 🎉
I know my square feet. My problem is not wanting to spend the money watering the lawn.
The problem I see with having a nice yard is it is a bank drainer. You get no return on your money for having a nice yard unless you’re a CZcamsr like Pete, Ryan Knorr, etc. All the fertilizer, water, seed constantly needed costs so much.
I have 53k Sq Ft. trying to get it all bermuda
